This study was prompted by lack of growth of the sector. These firms have been facing a business environment characterised by low Gross Domestic Product (GDP), foreign currency challenges, high unemployment, brain drain, liquidity crisis, high competition and low demand for domestic products. The descriptive design was used. Thirty registered small businesses, with approximately 100 subordinates and 25 managers/supervisors formed the target population for the study. The sample size was 40 and comprised of 30 subordinates and 10 managers/supervisors. Simple random sampling was used to select respondents for the study. The research instruments used were questionnaires, observations and interviews. The study found out that many small businesses do not have a comprehensive CRM programme. The study concluded that lack of a comprehensive customer relationship management programmes by small businesses has been hampering performance of the sector. The study recommends the implementation of CRM programmes by small businesses in Zimbabwe through information centres and embracing information technology. Feedback processes are also necessary for CRM. There is need to carry out a national survey on CRM for small businesses for generalisation of findings across the entire Zimbabwean economy.
